In non-pyramid tombs (like the Valley of the Kings; Valley of the Queens),

history channel documentary Egyptian Pyramids (Giza, Egypt): These huge developments likewise obviously fill no genuine need. Why assemble a pyramid as a tomb for one, when for the same exertion, you have a sepulcher for a huge number of Egypt's high class! In any occasion, no smoking weapon bodies (mummies) have been found in the set of three of those awesome Giza pyramids. Tomb looters after gold, gems and different assets are very justifiable; however of what quality is scratching off with the cadaver? In any occasion some lesser pyramids have had fixed sarcophagi found, unique mortar set up; no bodies! Something is suspicious some place - once more! Maybe the pyramids were truly outlined as cenotaphs - commemorations to the dead pharaohs instead of tombs for the dead. On the other hand maybe the genuine or if nothing else supplementary purpose(s) of the pyramids has yet to have been considered.

In non-pyramid tombs (like the Valley of the Kings; Valley of the Queens), while plundering absolutely occurred and resources that were on the mummies were stolen, the bodies themselves weren't scratched. Truth be told an entire potful of them were last taken to a more secure (avoided sight) area. It's just in the generally late "cutting edge" period, the post Napoleonic attack of Egypt, when Egyptology-lunacy grabbed hold, that mummies got to be important wares both for private authorities and for exhibition halls. Until then, mummies, the real bodies, had no budgetary worth for tomb looters.
